  1. What's exasperating for me is that Colchester United appear to be just as poor in defence as we are, yet they aren't conceding goals like Notts. We're launching strong attacks, but we're not pausing to make the optimal decision when it comes to scoring. As I type this, Jodi Jones has just scored a spectacular goal. It's now 4-3 in our favour.
  2. Colchester United may not be in their true place, but we hope to play well against them and achieve a good outcome. Luke Williams is correct to show them respect. This reminds our players to stay concentrated and not get ahead of themselves. Neither we nor they have won anything yet. It’s set to be a great contest between us.
  3. We’re living a dream at the moment with the results we’ve achieved, and it’s taken a lot of effort to get here. I hope Notts can dig deep and deliver a consistent performance against Colchester United. Joe Taylor, Samson Tovide, Noah Chilvers, and Connor Hall are all exceptional players. It’s unfortunate that they let Alan Judge go; it would have been lovely to see him. I understand he’s still training with them while he recovers from his injury. It would have been great to see him, as he was one of the first players I truly connected with at Notts. He and Neal Bishop always seemed like significant players for us. I don’t believe they’ll be easy to beat; they have some height and enjoy counterattacking. Their defence is questionable so far, but they’re nonetheless quite capable.
  4. Luke Williams isn’t mistaken, there’s a considerable journey ahead and we’re aware that he’s thrilled deep down, yet he’s preserving the professionalism we’ve all grown to appreciate. He won’t dwell too much on leading the league, but he’ll aim to keep a favourable position and when the time is right, I believe we’ll see him coax more from our team. The players and coaching staff have made remarkable progress, it’s delightful to anticipate another thrilling season, but I’ll adopt Williams’ approach and concentrate on each task at hand.
  5. The tweet is somewhat misleading. It’s a team effort, and while he’s a good player, the team’s improvement isn’t solely because of him. He’s a talented player who will likely play at a higher level in a few years. I doubt he’ll return to this level anytime soon.
  6. I’ve never met Jimmy, but I would have loved to interview him. I’ve spoken to famous people for my work, but none of them really interest me. Jimmy Sirrel would be in my top 5 dream interviews. I enjoy hearing fans share their experiences with him. He was an excellent manager, arguably the best the club has ever had.
  7. Notts put on a great team show. Although both sides could have reduced individual errors, the game wouldn’t have been as exciting. The second half was particularly enjoyable with action at both ends. As a Notts supporter, it’s pleasing to see the team play well and maintain control. Forest Green also played seriously and showed quality.
  8. I greatly admire Luke Williams for his candour and relentless pursuit of perfection. Although he stated earlier this season that he doesn’t place too much emphasis on performances, it’s evident that he takes great pride in the team’s performance. Conceding three goals wasn’t necessarily a negative for us; most supporters will recognise the closeness of the match. However, the pivotal moment was when the score was levelled at 2-2. If Forest Green had scored their three goals in a different manner, Luke might not have been as vexed.
  9. Hello, @Niederbayern Pie. The Pride of Nottingham has plenty of discussion and content to keep you entertained. Join in and share your thoughts. Welcome!
  10. Hello, @Middlesex Magpie. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, I hope to see you join with us.
  11. Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. It's great to have you here, @Morten Johansen.
  12. It’s a delight to witness each of our four players finding the back of the net. It’s gratifying to see Dan Crowley reaping the rewards of his stellar performances. Macaulay Langstaff’s goal will undoubtedly serve as a significant morale booster for him. Luke Williams is correct; he has goals in him, and we must accept that he won’t be scoring as prolifically, but reaching double digits is entirely achievable. As for John Bostock and David McGoldrick, their class is undeniable, and it’s pleasing to see both of them on the score sheet. The pass from Jodi Jones to McGoldrick was spot on!
  13. As supporters, we naturally hope for a victory, but it would be unwise to dismiss Forest Green outright. I’m not intimately familiar with their team, so I can’t assess their potential threat, but they should be well-prepared to face us. The anticipation for the game is palpable.
  14. My knowledge of Forest Green Rovers is somewhat limited due to our time in the National League and their tenure in League Two. However, it would be a mistake to assume that the game will be a walkover and that Notts will secure a win before a ball has even been kicked. The outcome depends on numerous factors - if we perform well, a favourable result should follow. My hope is for competent officials who can effectively manage the game and curb unnecessary yellow cards. A stern warning early on usually suffices. Our strategy should be to utilise Macaulay Langstaff effectively and attempt shots from outside the area. If they adopt a defensive strategy or aim for a draw, we need to apply relentless pressure.
  15. As Neil Warnock embarks on his retirement, we wish him all the best. It would be beneficial for a platform like Sky Sports to secure him as a pundit, preventing him from accepting another managerial position. This arrangement would allow him to continue enjoying football while having more leisure time. His rants, undoubtedly more entertaining than a grumpy Roy Keane, would be a welcome addition.
  16. In the realm of international football, skilled players often enjoy more time with the ball. This is particularly true for Jodi Jones, whose encounters with superior players not only challenge him but also contribute to his growth as a footballer. He has seamlessly reintegrated into League Two, demonstrating impressive skills on the field. Undoubtedly, he is a crucial asset to our team. His performances are a delight to watch, and it is our hope that he continues to find joy in playing for Notts.
  17. His decision to support Notts was unconventional but commendable. It’s rare to see someone choose a team outside of the top five these days. Kudos to Adam for his wise selection. Despite the highs and lows, it has only served to strengthen our community. As @liampie pointed out, it’s lovely that he’s involving his daughter. She didn’t have the luxury of choice like Adam did when it came to picking a team. Fortunately, Notts is on the rise. Thanks for sharing this wonderful story, @Chris, and thank you, Adam.
  18. Notts are demonstrating the correct attitude and concentration in their preparation. Observing the players complete running laps before and after pre-season matches is a strategy that will enhance their stamina and overall performance levels. The benefits of this approach are beginning to show, but I believe the key to any success is the enjoyment of the game. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of winning matches and earning Man of the Match accolades. Dan Crowley is thoroughly enjoying this experience. He’s an exceptional player and his signing this season has been a significant acquisition for us.
  19. It’s clear that Neil Warnock’s passion for the game keeps him engaged, but he should savour the remaining years of his life in retirement. He will undoubtedly leave behind a legacy as one of the finest managers in the Football League.
  20. Hello, @Benji. Welcome to PON. It's nice to have you here.
  21. We place our faith in Luke Williams! He’s steering HMS Notts County towards the Championship. The journey may not always be smooth, but his unwavering dedication and hard work, coupled with the collective efforts of the coaching team, provide the best guidance for this Notts squad. They will continue to improve and strive for consecutive promotions. With our phenomenal support, both at home and away, and a squad brimming with talent, we can persist and achieve even greater success!
  22. A better goal could not have been netted against MK Dons, as they simply closed ranks and made it challenging. The only possibilities I could foresee were aerial and long-range attempts. Kyle Cameron's shot was absolutely exceptional, flawlessly targeted. He had previously made an off-target attempt, so one could anticipate his successful strike.
  23. Hello, welcome to PON. I am glad to be welcoming you to our community @JOHN BOND.
  24. I’m not keen on this; the EFL Trophy is a farce and merely a waste of time. Now that most of our fans have experienced Wembley, that excuse can be dismissed. It will be intriguing to see how low the attendance drops. I will focus on the important cup matches and the league.
  25. It is essential that we closely examine the way MK Dons scored, as it is crucial to address the defensive lapse that occurred. I don’t want to harp on it or see Connell Rawlinson continually blamed. It’s a dreadful goal to concede, but it’s a defensive issue rather than solely Rawlinson’s, although he could improve.
